Summary: | The aim of the paper is to investigate the importance of landscape design in the planning
and designing of a residential property in
Klang Valley. It has been proven that proper landscape
planning and design with the sustainable concept and approach help to create conducive and
responsive environment of residential properties. The paper employed quantitative approaches
which includes i)
a questionnaire survey; and ii) an observation. This empirical study is based on
the findings of case studies conducted on several residential areas in Klang Valley. The findings
show that the residents have very clear ideas both on how much green space i
s really important in
residential areas in order to create a sustainable residential environment. Despite the absence of
public actions in terms of providing information, encouraging participations in the survey and
promoting awareness by those interviewed
have shown considerable interest in promoting
landscape design to be applied in real estate development. The perceptions of the quality and
quantity of landscape designs in residential areas and how landscape design can influence the values
of real estate
developments especially in Klang Valley can be further researched for future study. |
